The m, Rize woke up feeling disoriented.

  "Where am I?" She rubbed her eyes, nnizing the pce she was in.

  When she recalled the ret events, she murmured, "So that's what happened..."

  Seeing that she was only in lingerie and a green baby doll, Rize found her clothes and, using magic, ed her body before ging.

  "It's kind of unbelievable that until yesterday, we were sleeping is in the forest..." Rize murmured softly to herself while doing her best to stifle a yawn. With one eye open, a tear f, she saw Ria not far away, at the bend of the staircase, also ing down.

  Stretg with one hand raised in the air while the other held the railing, she said, "Ria, good m."

  Ria stopped and turo her, smiling slightly. "Good m, Rize."

  "Rize, Rize, did you sleep well?" Behind her, Rikoto pced her hands on her shoulders, asking cheerfully.

  "Yes, it's been years since I've slept this well," Rize admitted.

  "Hehe, me too~" Rikoto sang.

  Well, they had lived together all this time, so obviously, they would have simir experiences, especially when it came to sleeping.

  After reag Ria, the three tinued dowairs.

  On the first floor, the voices of the irls could be heard.

  "Looks like we weren't the first to wake up," Ria said.

  "Seems like it." Rize asked, "Ria, what do we do now? Should we build a house for ourselves here?"

  "If it's allowed, yes." Ria turo her, smiling.

  Rize thought about it and imagihat with the amount of wood and tiles left over from Zaydas, it would be possible to build two more mansions.

  However, that beloo him, and it wouldn't be fair to ask him to share it with them without something iurn.

  'Maybe we should offer our bodies?' Rize blushed at the thought.

  Obviously, it wasn't because she desired him or because she wao tiheir elf unity...

  Okay, maybe just a little...

  "Rize?"

  Snapping back to reality and seeing Ria talking to her, Rize said, "Sorry, Ria, I got distracted for a moment. What did you say?"

  "Sigh, it's like this," Ria eborated. "There's a siderably rge farm here. I'm thinking of our bor in exge for living here and asking for some of Zaydas' materials. Also, I think I saw an orchard too, but I'm not sure..."

  "I agree," Rize said. "It's actually a good idea."

  Rikoto touched her cheek, saying, "But, is something so simple really enough?"

  "..."

  "..."

  Well, Rize had to admit that if it was just about earning permission to live there aing a portion of the food, it would obviously be fair. But if they wao get materials made by Zaydas, which seemed eveer than those produced in the big cities... It would be an unfair trade.

  "In the end, should we offer our bodies?" Rize murmured, not realizing she had spoken aloud.

  "Rize!!" Ria looked at her reproachfully.

  "That... Might not be a bad idea~"

  Rikoto became all shy but undeniably ied in this kind of approach.

  "W-Well, if he wants to..." Ria also seemed to start thinking this way.

  When they joihe rest of the girls, it seemed they had simir thoughts and even began pnning how to seduce Zaydas.

  ───────────

  Unaware of what the elves were pnning 'against him,' Zaydas, who woke up a little ter, went dowairs only to be stared at by seven pairs of shining eyes.

  Once again, he felt like a poor rabbit being watched by a pack of hungry wolves.

  "Good m?" He spoke as if it were a question.

  "Good m~" The girls answered in unison.

  Seriously, it was quite a se and would have been very beautiful and harmonious if not for the strange looks they were giving him.

  I mean, each of them was a beauty. And it's not surprising—basically, all elves in mythology and stories are described as incredibly beautiful beings. And Zaydas could attest to that with an approving seal.

  Sensing a straension f, Zaydas said, "Have you eate? If not, I'll make something."

  "We havee," they admitted easily.

  Point for them. Pretending they had eaten just to avoid being a bother wasn't really something Zaydas approved of.

  This wasn't a situation where he was a little bit les out of politeness. Just as he was raised to offer, he expected others to be equally polite in refusing…

  Heading to the kit, Zaydas began preparing something simple: salmon fillets, cheese, sad, rice, and tofu soup.

  Having food in his ste dimension was something he had started doing. Just like pillows and futons. He had beds too, but only three. It wouldn't be good to take them out when there were seven of them. That's why he gave them the futons.

  By the way, a small and subtle detail—Zaydas was using a six-burner wood stove with a metal pte, but instead of using wood, he was using Pyrokinesis. This was also good training to improve his trol.

  Once, his father said: "Zay, there's an old saying: 'Practice makes perfect.' If you want to specialize in something, make it part of your routine."

  ...

  Mier, the smell spread from the kit, reag the living room.

  The stomachs of several elves rumbled.

  Ria said, "It seems Zaydas is more versatile thahought."

  His value only increased in their eyes.

  Ria could evehe sparkle in her sisters' eyes intensifying.

  "One of you."

  Zaydas' voice was heard from the kit. " you go ask Hiraku if he's had his breakfast yet? If not, tell him I'm inviting him."

  "I'll go!" Riri responded eically.

  She pushed her chair bad left immediately.

  At the sound of the door closing with a thud, Rize murmured softly, "Girls, what do you think about doing this..."

  ───────────

  From yesterday to today, Zaydas gained 2,394 AP.

  Right now, he gained 1 more AP. As for the reason, he didn't know, but it didn't matter as long as he khe source. It was almost 100% certain that it was because of the elves.

  The fact that he did what he did was enough to bee an achievement point.

  In other words, the record he altered was greater than it appeared.

  Not long after, Hiraku's voice echoed.

  "Five the intrusion."

  Zaydas stepped out of the kit, looking at Hiraku with Riri. He said, "You don't have to be so formal. Make yourself at home, you wait with the girls i, it'll be ready soon."

  "Yes." Hiraku simply responded, following Riri.

  "Wow, now that I see it, your house turned out really nice," Hiraku said loudly enough for Zaydas to hear.

  "Haha, I'll build a house for you if you want," Zaydas said in a loud voice. "You saw it yourself yesterday, it's not difficult for me to do that."

  "Really? I appreciate it."

  Zaydas liked how he didn't hold back when he didn't o.

  False modesty usually tends to be disgusting.

  If it were something difficult to do and required a lot of time, that would be a different matter. And in this case, Zaydas was basically taking advantage of Hiraku.

  Although he himself could create fertile nds with crops even faster than Hiraku and orchards, things like that needed special care.

  Just like in the case of Rimuru, who assighe Hobgoblins and Goblinas to take care of the crops and orchard he created in exge for potions for him.

  Turning off the fire once everything was ready, Zaydas made all the food float so he could carry everything at ond began approag the living room.

  The kit and living room were close to each other, separated by a divider. Over the divider, he could see Hiraku and the elves.

  "Let me help!" Ria promptly spoke.

  "It's fine." Zaydas appreciated her kindness, but he didn't need help. It was easy to carry, and the distance was short.

  "I insist!"

  Seeing her so proactive, Zaydas relented a little, making the ptes float toward her. "Then, serve the dishes oable."

  Then, notig the elves looking at him, he made the cups and other items float toward them as well.

  With that, it didn't take long before the table was set.

  "It looks delicious~" Rita sang.

  However, they seemed cautious—after all, it was a cuisihey were unfamiliar with.

  "Huh? You're ing?" Meanwhile, Hiraku, who was Japanese, didn't hesitate to pick up a piece of salmon and put it in his mouth.

  Seeing him eat, followed by Zaydas taking some tofu, the elves also started imitating them.

  In an instant, the sounds of cutlery and moans of happiness filled the room.

  'If someone from outside heard this, they might have some inappropriate thoughts about what's happening here,' Zaydas thought with an ironic smile.

  I mean, just imagine multiple moans from women with seductive voices saying things like: "This is so good!", "This is delicious!", "I feel like I've lived just for this moment~!", "Ahh~ Now I die happy~"

  Even Zaydas felt a slight "disfort."

  Hiraku, oher hand, was someone Zaydas couldn't uand.

  Even in this situation, he showed ion at all, just tinued eating as if nothing was happening.

  'Seriously, I'll never uand this guy...'
